Lesbian Historic Motif Project: Tag Pages - Misc. Tags - Identity, Sex, and Gender

The version of this post at the Alpennia site includes actual tag-links for the items being discussed. Check it out to explore. The tag display page currently has some technical issues that limit the number of entries displayed for each tag, but I hope to have that fixed soon. At the very least, it will give you a taste of what's available.

The purpose of tags is to make information relatively easy to find. The topics covered under “misc. tags” are a combination of themes that guided my choice of publications to cover, and themes that emerged from those publications This essay is intended to explain briefly how the “misc.” tags are being used.

The second purpose is to provide a tag list that the visitor can use to explore the site. The number of tags used in the project, and the organization into four different categories, doesn’t lend itself to a traditional tag-cloud. The Place and Time Period tags each have a single essay. The Event/Person and Misc. Tags will be covered in thematic groups in multiple essays due to the larger number.

I’m planning three essays for the Misc. Tags, each covering a general category with several subcategories. This present essay includes specific vocabulary terms used for lesbians or persons engaging in lesbian-like activities, terms and concepts relating to sexual activity and the physical expression of affection, and concepts relating to gender presentation and identity.
